The low estimate is based on a commitment to develop three Studios (in which case the Franchise Fee under each Franchise Agreement would be $55,000 per studio) and the high estimate is based on a commitment to develop 10 Studios (in which case the Franchise Fee under each Franchise Agreement would be $35,000 per studio).

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beem Light Sauna's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise fee for a single unit is $65,000. This fee is paid in a lump sum when the Franchise Agreement is signed and is payable to Beem Light Sauna.
However, the FDD also indicates that the franchise fee can vary if the franchisee enters into a Development Agreement to open multiple Beem Light Sauna studios. The low estimate for the development fee is based on a commitment to develop three studios, in which case the franchise fee under each Franchise Agreement would be $55,000 per studio. The high estimate is based on a commitment to develop 10 studios, in which case the franchise fee under each Franchise Agreement would be $35,000 per studio. The Development Fee will be credited towards the initial Franchise Fee for each Studio developed under the Development Agreement and is not refundable.
Therefore, the initial franchise fee for a single Beem Light Sauna studio is fixed at $65,000, but can range from $35,000 to $55,000 per studio under a Development Agreement for multiple units.
